NOTES OF THE HISTORY OF THE DE BURGH FAMILY. By Elizabeth Jane Hussey De Burgh. 91 pages, originally published at Dublin, 1890. Reproduced as an eBook 2002. (The PDF format eBook has large, 8.5 x 11 pages, so the eBook version is 43 pages, but has all the same content as the original).

This interesting Irish genealogy, written before the destruction of many records in the Public Records Office fire, traces the De Burgh family back to William Fitzadelm De Burgh, who was appointed Chief Governor of Ireland in 1175. From him are said to descend all of the Irish De Burgh, De Burgo, Bourke and Burke families. The genealogy is enlivened by anecdotal tales and historical sketches that make this interesting reading even for those who are not directly related to the De Burghs.
